Weekend in Paris!!
I arrived in Paris early Wednesday morning for a long weekend trip! The plane ride there only cost 8 Euro, so it was too good to pass up!! The hotel was in a perfect location, just two blocks away from the Louvre Museum. The day we arrived, we toured the Louvre gardens and Notre Dame. The Ash Wednesday mass was going on inside Notre Dame which was really neat to watch! On Thursday, we walked to the Eiffel Tower and toured the Orsay Museum, and at night we took a river boat cruise on the Seine River! On Friday, we spent most of the day touring the Louvre Museum and walking around to the many palaces and the Arc de Triomphe. I also enjoyed lots of good French crepes and wine. On Saturday, we visited a neat basilica and walked by Moulin Rouge on the way to the airport. It was definitely a fun trip and I think I liked Paris a bit more than Madrid. There were more trees and grass there, with lots of open spaces, whereas Madrid feels pretty crammed with all the one-way streets. Enjoy the pictures!
